Fig. 1 is a schematic structural diagram of a portable device 10 for requesting an eSIM number according to an embodiment of the present application. Exemplarily, the portable device 10 includes a processor 11, a memory 12, a network communication module 13, a communication interface 14, and the like, where the memory 12 stores a computer program, and the processor 11, by running the computer program, causes the portable device 10 to execute the implementation method for requesting an eSIM number according to the embodiment of the present application, so as to enable an eSIM service of a host terminal to be enabled anytime and anywhere by a user without the user personally visiting a local operator to provision an eSIM card, which is convenient.
The processor 11 may be an integrated circuit chip having signal processing capability. The Processor may be a general purpose Processor including at least one of a Central Processing Unit (CPU), a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU), and a Network Processor (NP), a Digital Signal Processor (DSP), an Application Specific Integrated Circuit (ASIC), an off-the-shelf programmable gate array (FPGA) or other programmable logic device, discrete gate or transistor logic, discrete hardware components. The general purpose processor may be a microprocessor or the processor may be any conventional processor or the like that implements or executes the methods, steps and logic blocks disclosed in the embodiments of the present application.
The Memory 12 may be, but not limited to, a Random Access Memory (RAM), a Read Only Memory (ROM), a Programmable Read-Only Memory (PROM), an Erasable Read-Only Memory (EPROM), an electrically Erasable Read-Only Memory (EEPROM), and the like. The memory is used for storing a computer program, and the processor can execute the computer program correspondingly after receiving the execution instruction.
The network communication module 13 is mainly used for implementing a networking function and communicating with an external device by using a network. It is noted that the portable device 10 may be network configured by the device provider to support use of the portable device 10 in certain geographic areas, or may be configured to support global roaming, etc. For example, the device provider may configure the network communication module 13 with virtual eSIM numbers according to a region desired by the user, so that when the user brings the portable device 10 into the region, the portable device 10 can connect to a remote server using the corresponding eSIM number after being powered on, and thus request an available eSIM number for an accessed home terminal.
The communication interface 14 can be used to connect to a host terminal that needs to request an eSIM service. In one embodiment, the communication interface may include a wireless communication interface and a hardware interface, for example, the wireless communication interface may be a bluetooth module or the like; and the hardware interface may be a USB interface, etc. Further, the USB interface can also comprise one or more combinations of type-A interface, type-B interface, type-C interface and the like. For example, fig. 2 shows a portable device 10 simultaneously provided with 3 different types of hardware interfaces, which can be compatible with various host terminals 20 having different interface types.
It is understood that the above-mentioned host terminal 20 refers to a user terminal device used by a user and capable of supporting the installation or configuration of the eSIM, and may include, but is not limited to, various terminals including a smart phone, a tablet, a smart speaker, a robot, and the like, for example. When the SIM card is not set, the portable device 10 may be connected to request an eSIM number, thereby implementing an eSIM service function of the terminal.
Based on the structure of the portable device 10 described above, a description will be given below of a procedure for requesting an eSIM number by the portable device 10 according to the embodiment of the present application.
Exemplarily, when an eSIM number needs to be requested for a certain host terminal 20 (e.g., a mobile phone), the connection with the portable device 10 may be performed in a wired or wireless manner, and as shown in fig. 2, the portable device 10 may be connected with the mobile phone through a USB data line. After the host terminal 20 is connected to the portable device 10, the host terminal 20 provides a working power supply for the portable device 10, and after the portable device 10 is powered on, the preset eSIM server address can be accessed through the network communication module, so as to automatically connect to the eSIM server. As shown in fig. 3, the request for the eSIM number is then realized by the portable device 10, the eSIM server 30, and the home terminal 20 by performing the following steps:
in step S110, when detecting that the host terminal 20 is accessed, the portable device 10 acquires the relevant information of the current host terminal 20. The related information includes, but is not limited to, current location information of the host terminal 20, terminal identification information, and the like.
Usually, a locator is provided in the host terminal 20, such as a mobile phone or a tablet, and the host terminal can perform satellite positioning through the locator to obtain longitude and latitude data of the terminal. It can be understood that, when the terminal can be networked, the latitude and longitude data is reported to the server, so that the server obtains the specific location of the terminal through analysis. In this embodiment, since the host terminal 20 does not have a network, the portable device 10 supporting the network reports the obtained information such as the longitude and latitude data of the terminal, so that the eSIM server 30 obtains the current location of the host terminal 20 through analysis.
In step S120, the portable device 10 reports the relevant information of the host terminal 20 to the remote eSIM server 30 through the network communication module.
In step S130, the eSIM server 30 performs a dynamically assigned eSIM number based on the current location information of the host terminal 20.
The eSIM server 30 is mainly configured to assign respective required eSIM numbers to different home terminals at different geographical locations. Exemplarily, after the eSIM server 30 obtains the current location information of the host terminal 20, one or more available eSIM numbers are assigned to the host terminal 20 according to the current location information. For example, when the home terminal 20 moves to london, it may be assigned a valid eSIM number that is attributed to the uk region; alternatively, when the host terminal 20 moves to paris, it may be assigned a valid eSIM number or the like of which the home is a france region.
It should be understood that the above-mentioned eSIM server 30 for assignment may be a designated server corresponding to the aforementioned preset address, or may be a designated server of the preset address that performs eSIM number assignment by notifying an area server of the corresponding location according to the location of the host terminal 20, where the device providing end needs to set corresponding servers in advance in the corresponding area, and the number and the setting location of the eSIM servers 30 are not limited herein.
In step S140, the portable device 10 downloads the eSIM number from the eSIM server 30 and transmits the eSIM number to the home terminal 20.
Step S150, the host terminal 20 enables an eSIM service according to the eSIM number.
Then, the mobile device 10 may store the assigned eSIM number locally, for example, in the mobile device 10 or in the home terminal 20, which is not limited herein. Then, the home terminal 20 in which the eSIM-related application is installed is bound to the allocated eSIM number, so that the home terminal 20 registers through the eSIM number and opens an eSIM service.
The above-described eSIM-related application can be installed when the home terminal 20 makes a first connection with the portable device 10 to ensure that the home terminal 20 can subsequently use the application normally and initiate an eSIM service. Wherein the installed application data can be provided by the portable device 10, as shown in fig. 4, the portable device 10 and the host terminal 20 will further perform the following operations to implement the installation of the application.
In step S210, when detecting that the host terminal 20 is accessed for the first time, the portable device 10 triggers the host terminal 20 to perform popup authentication.
Exemplarily, when the portable device 10 detects that a terminal is accessed, it may first identify device information such as a model of the terminal, and determine that the terminal is not accessed for the first time when it is found that the device information already exists; and if the equipment information does not exist, determining the equipment information as the first access. Further, when it is determined that the access is the first access, a corresponding trigger signal is generated to the host terminal 20 to trigger the host terminal 20 to perform the popup.
The pop-up window verification is mainly used to verify the validity of the portable device 10 obtained by the user, and may be, for example, a pop-up window in which information such as an account and a password obtained when the user purchases the portable device 10 is prompted to be input.
In step S220, the host terminal 20 receives the authentication information input by the user in the terminal interface, and transmits the authentication information to the portable device 10.
In step S230, the portable device 10 receives the authentication information input by the user and detects whether the authentication information is correct.
For example, when the information such as the account and the password input by the user is identical to the information stored in the portable device 10, the verification information is confirmed to be correct, otherwise, the verification information is not correct. Optionally, the terminal interface may be prompted to re-enter new authentication information, and so on.
In step S240, the portable device 10 acquires the operating system information of the host terminal 20 when the verification information is determined to be correct. Different terminals have different operating systems, and accordingly, corresponding installed Application (APP) data packets are different. In order to ensure that the application can be normally installed, information such as the operating system version of the terminal needs to be obtained first.
In step S250, the portable device 10 determines the application to be installed in the host terminal 20 according to the operating system information.
In step S260, the host terminal 20 installs the application and starts an eSIM service when the application runs.
Thereafter, the hosting terminal 20 can start the eSIM service each time the application is run. After the application is run, the host terminal 20 will automatically use the eSIM number when detecting a valid eSIM number that has been bound. Considering that the assigned eSIM number may be time-sensitive, as an alternative, the host terminal 20 may also detect whether the currently bound eSIM number is valid, and enable the eSIM service when valid. On the contrary, if it is detected that no eSIM number is bound or the current eSIM number has failed, the above steps S110 to S140 may be automatically performed to request an available eSIM number.
As an optional implementation, if the eSIM number is charged according to the usage time, a function that can manually release the binding relationship may also be provided. For example, when the host terminal 20 receives a release instruction input by the user, the binding relationship of the eSIM number currently used is canceled. Therefore, the flexibility of use can be improved, and the user experience and the like are further improved.
The portable device 10 for requesting an eSIM number according to the embodiment of the present application has a network communication function, and is configured to, when detecting that a home terminal 20 is accessed, obtain related information of a current home terminal 20 and report the related information to an eSIM server 30; the corresponding eSIM number is then assigned by the eSIM server 30 according to the geographical location where the home terminal 20 is currently located, so that the home terminal 20 can enable the eSIM service. The portable device 10 can enable the user terminal to enable the eSIM service anytime and anywhere, and the user does not need to go to a local operator to open a card personally, so that the time of the user is saved; in addition, the method and the device can be particularly applied to the situations without a wired network, wiFi and the like, for example, when a user goes abroad, the functions of networking, conversation and the like of the terminal can be realized by using the portable equipment 10, and the portable equipment 10 is convenient to carry and strong in practicability.
Based on the portable device 10 of the foregoing embodiment, please refer to fig. 5, an implementation method for requesting an eSIM number is further proposed in the embodiment of the present application, which is applied to the portable device 10 supporting a networking function, and exemplarily includes:
step S310, when detecting that the host terminal 20 is accessed, acquiring the related information of the current host terminal 20.

It is understood that the method steps of the present embodiment correspond to the respective functions of the portable device 10 in the above-described embodiment, wherein the alternatives of the portable device 10 described above are equally applicable to the method of the present embodiment and will not be described again here.
